Greetings & Welcome!  Trust your August 2012 is concluding with revival and strength in your life.

This past weekend was very busy and I apologize that we are late in communicating.  Some great things happened and we are so thankful to the Lord Jesus for the work doing in our family and the church family.

The sanctuary class concluded the Revelation 22 "Last Message of the Bible" series with the lesson; "The Last Prayer of the Bible".  The word of the Lord came to the 11:00 AM session from Genesis 22; "A Place Called Provision".  The 6:30 PM session was overshadowed with a special strength as the Lord ministered to the FPC family by His word and Spirit in the message; "They Prevailed Not" from Revelation 12:7-9.

I encourage you to contact Brother Odis Lomax (odislomax@yahoo.com) and make plans to receive your personal copy (flash drive provided) of every sermon/lesson from calendar year 2011!  We are offering this for a special offering only.  The audio team is in need of some additional equipment and we see this a unique way to raise the needed $1500.

This coming Wednesday, August 29, the FPC family will continue to study the subjects of Holiness and Godliness.  Sunday's over and Wednesday's coming!!!  Make plans to join.

Blessings!
